re: General Robert E. Lee to be replaced with a "Water Feature"

quote:

Landrieu said the last option -- focused on a fountain -- is what he sees as the best choice. "It represents Katrina," he said. "It represents water as a life-giving force. It represents light. It represents aspiration and creates something that's worthy of Paris and worthy of New Orleans." But, he said, that will cost money, possibly $10 million to $15 million. "Where are we going to get the money from?" Landrieu said. "Maybe we can put some public money up if everybody doesn't yell and scream about 'You ought to be filling potholes with that money.'

I know he's already done and said stupid shite, but this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my entire existence. I honestly don't know if even Landrieu said this, but it wouldn't come as a surprise. Either way, frick him.
